I’ve been ridiculed, censured and I’ve been reprimanded recently that I am not strongly supporting vaccination of everyone 6 months old and older with one of the COVID-19 vaccinations. Yet today, even more proof appears in support of my concerns . . . (mind you that it shows up on a weekend when no one in the news cycles will see it).

The Pfizer vaccine decreases male sperm count over 25% for up to six months post vaccination, “but it returns to normal after six months.” That’s the findings this week from Andrology.

Hmmm . . . ? Are we actually sure about that?

Last June in JAMA, we were reassured that two doses of the vaccine are “safe and there was no problem with fertility of any kind.” Any legitimate questions about COVID-19 vaccination affecting fertility were dismissed using the perverse rhetoric of “there’s no evidence” (it’s dependent upon the advocates of a universally distributed medical product to prove it’s safe, not the other way around).

After the publication of the study and positive support from the scientific community, hospital systems, the US Military and medical societies around the country, all male fertility concerns were brushed aside. Anyone who dared question the parameters of the study or the other longer-term effects like increase in associated miscarriage’s was relegated to the status of a conspiracy theorist or quack.

Meanwhile, White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha made a contrary statement, saying that vaccines for children down to 6 months or older “have been thoroughly tested. Millions of children above the age of 5 have gotten these vaccines. They’re exceedingly safe,” Jha told CBS News in a June 20 interview.

The CDC last Saturday, June 18th, 2022, signed off on giving both Moderna’s and Pfizer’s COVID-19 mRNA vaccines to infants and children between 6 months and 5 years old. It came after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory panel unanimously voted to authorize the use of the vaccines.

Jha also said while the majority of children likely have natural immunity, getting the vaccines will help keep children out of the hospital if they get it again.

The White House is echoing the FDA and CDC’s message to get young children vaccinated.

And, yet today, buried in the weekend news, a longer term study find out that these vaccines cause a 25% reduction in sperm counts in males . . .

My concern, and the concern of many others, is the small initial studies on these vaccines only looked at sperm counts before the first dose and 70 days after the second. What happens after two months remained a mystery. What about after a 3rd for 4th booster? What about sperm counts in infant males receiving the vaccination prior to puberty? What about males in puberty an their sperm counts at 1 year, 5 years and 10 years? All of these answers are still a mystery, but a mystery not worth worrying about as we were told.

“Thoroughly tested” is a blatant bold-faced lie.

 If a child or an adult has an adverse reaction to the vaccine, that child’s parents or family could not sue for damages because the emergency use authorization prevents the companies from being held liable.

The vaccines are experimental by definition. A product that’s being used under emergency use [EU] authorization definitionally is investigational. The EU authorization gives these vaccine companies blanket liability protection.

Will reduction in sperm counts be longer than six months? Will reduction in sperm counts be different in those who receive the vaccine as children versus those who receive it as adults? Who knows? Only time will tell. But, the White House, FDA, CDC and most medical societies don’t seem to think that is important.

I remember taking an oath as a physician to, first, do no harm? Yet, I’m a conspiracy theorist for asking the question and not towing the line?
